This is the first in our new series of interactive events in collaboration with Adobe, and includes survey results. You'll find the full recording on the Adobe site at http:/adobe.ly/1qolpNM
You'll find more about this series at http://www.culturecom.net/TransFormation/webinars_2014/about.html
The multiplication of communicative objects that take decisions without human intervention is not a simple technological phenomenon, but a complex reorganization of social interaction. Will this development enable greater equity throughout the world, or will it widen the digital gap?

What is a “Thing?”
“A

in

can
be:
– A

a

– A
farm
animal
with
a
biochip
transponder
– An
automobile
that
has
built-‐in

to
alert
the

when
Kre

– Any

• “The
